John Prine took the stage at Carnegie Hall last night for an evening with John Prine.
NO large band, a bass player and Jason Wilber on guitar. I figured wed be out of there in 90 minutes. John started with Illegal Smile, Decal and after two hours brought IRIS DEMENT for a set and then went electric. I thought maybe he was playing everyone song he knew..
Souveniers
Crazy as a loon
the missing years jesus
Hello in there
angel from Montgomery
Same stone
dont bury me
the great compromise
sweet revenge
saddle in the rain
fishing and whistling
Living in the future
Unwed fathers
all the best
hurting nobody
lake marie
paradise
Jet SET
invite them over
inspite of ourselves
Glory of true love
Taking a walk
she is my everything
it seemed like Prine kept going. MOre and more... he was figdety and spoke little but was having fun. Angel from MOntgomery got a standing Ovation. Hello in there made me cry and it was night that belonged to JOHN, even when he brought out greg brown and Iris for happy birthday wishes and a birthday cake.... and paradise
the show really was paradise
thanks John Prine
